Status: offline 		I've got my mind dead set on this bike, but I was just wondering do standered 1/10 electronics work
Also would my 6 cell 300mah batt fit or is there a special battery for it

I am not sure but i belive the only one available is the original Kyosho one

Status: offline 		you could get the special radio/speedo combo for the kyosho bike or...............
i've got a standard 27MHz acoms reciever and a novak explorer 2 in mine, which means unlimited motor choise!!!
to fit them in they are both removed from the cases and the reciever is underneath the rear portion near the exausts and the speedo is next to the motor ( you can put them both next to the motor but as theres no where to put a proper arial the range is short). if you have spare radio lying around try using that and DO NOT run it any where water!!!

Status: offline 		A standard reciever will work. You will need a extremely small speed control. I managed to stuff a mamba comp X in mine. You will need a smaller servo though. They do take smaller bettery packs. But they are not that much $.

Status: offline 		Hi, You can run a small Futaba pcm rx, and any small servo, I have a Mamba brushlesss set up in mine, crazy, dont run the standard servo rx servo set up, its so slow, if you run a brushed motor the grupner 300 motor and your own esc will be an 100% improvement over standard.
